Nível 8 : 300/600, 150 ante

No-Limit 5 Card Draw

Kristen Bicknell has two WSOP gold bracelets, both of which are in No-Limit Hold'em events, but she's jumped in the $2,500 Big Bet Mix for a change. On her first hand, in Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better, she folded to a flop continuation bet from Sammartino, and the game immediately changed to 5 Card Draw.

Bicknell asked for an explanation of the game, and it was given to her by tablemate Calvin Anderson.

It folded to Sammartino who opened to 1,400.

"So wait, I can go all in?" asked Bicknell, who then did so. She already separated her five cards into four and one. The action folded back to Sammartino who had a decision.

"Did Krissy just move all in and show her draw?" said railbird Shaun Deeb from the next table. "Wow, live pro reads; Alex Foxen must be at the same table(!)"

Sammartino eventually folded showing . Bicknell showed

"Wow, she just levelled you Dario," continued Deeb, "She's secretly been playing this game for 23 years with her grandma."
